Bees 3-3s

By their nature, games that finish 3-3 are pretty memorable, and last night's was certainly no exception!!!
I've referenced the game v Watford back in 1979, as one that really set me off on a lifetime of supporting us, and more recently we had one at home to MK Dons on New Year's Eve 2011.
Any others that spring to mind?
(Also, is it generally a particularly 'rare' scoreline does anyone know?)

I vaguely remember a 3-3 draw in the mid 70s where man mountain Mickey Droy scored for us. I think one team had gone from 2-0 up to 3-2 down.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Didn't think Micky Droy played for us until the mid 80s, when Perryman was here.

On another note, one of my first games was an FA Cup game at home to Gillingham in 1991. We seemed very casual, easing into a 2-0 and 3-1 lead, but let them back into it for 3-3!

Ah yeah, Gillingham game. Forgot that one. On the telly I think....

Just done bit of research, 3-3 Is the 22nd most likely scoreline (0.75%) and is behind, among others, 4-2, 1-4, 0-4, 5-0, 4-1 and 2-3 in terms of likelihood to occur.....

I recalled him scoring at Darlington, but I mixed 2 games there. In that game we drew 1-1, the previous season we had won 5-3

I may be getting confused with another game, on a freezing Saturday afternoon around 1975, maybe against Chesterfield. We went from 2-0 up to 3-2 down then 3-3.

If I somehow live another 45 years, will the Liverpool game also be a vague blur of a memory?
 

Bees 3-3s

Clearly 3-3 games aren't as memorable as I thought!!!! ???
 

Bees 3-3s

I remember a brilliant 3-3 against Derby in a midweek game in 1985. The first season I had a ST, which iirc cost a tenner...
 

Bees 3-3s

Also memorable, September 1996 at home vs York City, I think we were 2-0 and 3-1 down. Brentford v York City, 28 September 1996

Asaba (I think) hit the bar in the last minute which would have completed a quick hat-trick and 3 points .
2 for Asaba and 1 for Taylor apparently.
I remember a couple of young GPGers years ago saying that was their first ever Bees game, what an intro!

I was at university and went to another Hall of Residence to watch. Room was packed out as the WWF was on and in anticipation of the Brentford game. Then the WWF finished and all bar my friend and I and one other left.

My first ever game at GP, Jan -89.
Home to Fulham, Bees down 1-3 with 20 mins to play.
3-3 in the end.

Away to Fulham? My father and I were there dead early and we got tickets that were something like ZZZ897 and ZZZ898 in the stand. They were behind the corner flag and felt like they were below sea level (plenty of space to move in the end). My fourth Brentford game I believe.

Preston away 1983, very interesting day out and a 3-3 draw, with goals from francis Joseph, keith Cassells and gasping Gary Roberts..ironically same season we played Liverpool in the League Cup.

That was a very good game. And look where both teams are now.

Excellent game indeed. Think it was on a Sunday for some reason that I can’t recall as don’t think it was on Sky. Their recruitment since they have gone up has been excellent.

Game against Wolves at home? Steve Bull got a couple. Could easily be making this up!!

With assistant manager Tommy Baldwin scoring the last equaliser I think.

That’s it. We were 2-0 up and 3-2 down in that match. Remember it being a Gordon Sweetzer return from injury match

If it’s the one I’m thinking of it was 2-2. Excellent game. I remember Bull trying to get Evans sent out and a blinding save by Mark Kendall from Cockram

Came back from 2-0 down to 3-2 up then Tony Parks got his angles wrong for Gordon Davies equaliser. Great save from Stannard at the end to deny Millen winner

Think you're right, close but no cigar.

Brighton at home, possibly 2015, took the lead in the 90 something minute, only for them to equalise a couple of minutes later.

which gives odds of 2/1 that there will be at least one 3-3 in a 50 game season.

Kerschbaumer only goal for us. Before Sully March equalised.

2008/09 season - Wycombe at home, I think we were both top 2 (??)

Came from behind to equalise to make it 3-3. Think Williams got the 3rd

Was a big game contextually for auto promotion and winning the title

John Akinde was unplayable that day, think he may have got two for Wycombe.

Akinde was superb for Wycombe that day. Unplayable.

I will throw in an off the wall one. Bees 0 Doncaster 1. As a club we were really not ready to go up that season. The following year we had a lot better squad and we achieved the glory of PL football not too long after thanks to great success in the transfer market in the next couple of years.

Errrrrrm. This is the 3-3 draw thread.
 

Bees 3-3s

As well as the famous NYE game I think we also draw 3-3 with MK Dons in 2010 at GP with Carl Cort equalising in injury time.

I also don’t think anyone’s mentioned the 3-3 against Sunderland a few years back…

And did we draw 3-3 at Bradford in the MA days?

My first GP game was a 3-2 against Gillingham, where Micky Droy scored I think. We were 2-1 down with a few minutes to play. Also remember Ian, Ian Go-away was playing.
